One of the reasons we’re using a virtual machine is to provide early access to software under development, without the overhead of updating setup each time. Once setup reaches a state that enables a smooth install and a clean uninstall, you’ll start seeing CTP releases you can install yourself.

While you download the 4+ gigs for this release, be sure to review the content found on the download details page: Visual Studio Code Name “Orcas” – October CTP. This is where you’ll find instructions for using this virtual machine and details on what’s new in this CTP release.
